Every year we support Mission Christmas with the donate a gift scheme. Last year we had a fantastic turn out and we were overwhelmed by the generosity of our staff and customers alike. We’re always trying to improve on past achievements, and in this spirit we’d like to try and beat last years collection.

In 2015 Mission Christmas raised over £2 million in gifts and cash and supported over 51,500 local children.

We’re asking you to buy an extra present that we can give to a disadvantaged local child to make their Christmas morning special. We need new and unwrapped gifts suitable for children and young people aged 0-18 years. resents for very young children and babies, as well as teenagers, are always hard to come by so if you can donate something for one of these age groups that’s fantastic!

4 million children live in poverty across the UK.  For these families Christmas is a luxury they just can’t afford.  Key 103 Cash for Kids launched Mission Christmas to help.

You can bring your new and unwrapped gifts to leisure reception as we are a registered drop off point before 7th December.

Don’t forget that everything raised locally stays local, so you can be sure that your gift and cash donations will directly benefit a local child.

You can make a £1 individual donation by texting KEY £1 to 70808. You can read more about Mission Christmas here key103.co.uk/charity/mission-christmas
